We are bicycle commuters in the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is our effort to raise awareness of bicycle commuters, encourage more people to get on their bikes, and identify issues pertaining to those of us who use a bicycle for transportation.

Vote your conscience

Get ready to join a community conversation about the future. The challenge: What should we do with the Fort Wayne Community Trust and City Light Lease Settlement funds?

Created by Mayor Tom Henry, Legacy Fort Wayne is a community initiative to guide decision making about the uses of these extraordinary resources. The Legacy Fort Wayne Task Force, made up of 15 civic leaders, has been invited to direct the effort. As this five-month process unfolds, the Task Force will investigate options, engage our entire city and make recommendations to the Mayor.

The centerpiece of Legacy Fort Wayne is community involvement. It’s where you can take part. From public forums to online tools allowing you to suggest projects, express opinions and vote for your preferences, we want you to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime initiative.

So start thinking about your hopes and dreams, your goals and priorities for Fort Wayne. Every idea is important.

Help shape our Legacy Fort Wayne.

If you go Here you can vote on ideas of how to use the windfall of cash that the Fort is getting from AEP. I put in Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure as a category. It has one vote so far. Help FWBC out here people! Use your votes on something you believe in.
